The Tornante Group, founded in 2005 by former MouskeCEO, Michael Eisner, has launched Vuguru, a web-based studio to produce short films to be distributed online.

They’re starting production with an original 80-episode - or webisode? - series titled “Prom Queen” (by Big Fantastic LLC) about life during the last year of high school. Each episode will last approximately 90 seconds and be distributed not only on the web site but also through lawsuit magnet, YouTube, and Veoh, an Eisner-created video networking site.

Maybe this will finally show Disney stockholders that Eisner really does love digital stuff, and that the alleged feud with Steve Jobs at Pixar might not have been all his fault. OK, probably not.
